I don't think there are any pearl farms in Florida. Searching google the only reference to Florida pearl farming I can find is from Pearl Guide in 2005: https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=219&page=1

I already answered that in the first thread you commented on. The answer is Guaymas Mexico is the closest pearl farm. There are no pearl farms in the continental US and not any more in Hawaii.

Pearl farms are not common for a reason, so read up to find out why.

Ask more questions when you have read something.

That article is 6 years old and nothing came of it. https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=541&p=94468#post94468
is the thread I just talked about several pearl farms connected to this forum. The one in guaymas in the only one in North America unless Lagoon Island pearls get going.

You can read here about some old freshwater farms in the US, but nothing commercial has happened here in years. Do you know what kind of pearl you want to grow? Did you know there are two basic kinds of pearls, freshwater and salt water? Freshwater pearls come from mussels, not oysters.
